PAGE SIX PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOTTPJ7AL M0J7DA7. APP.IL 4. 1923. Railroad Heads Prepare a Two Point Program Will Present Plan to President Roose velt on His Return Today to Washington. WASHINGTON, April 2 (UP) Railway executives ami labor leaders today drafted for submission to President Roosevelt Monday a two l)Oint. luosiam to relieve the finan cial distress of railroads. Their program is expected to differ materially from the unrevealed re commendations made to Mr. Roose velt by a special committee of three interstate commerce commissioners, headed by Chairman Walter M. W. Splav.n. Neither railway manage ment nor labor considers the Splawn report the complete solution to their problem. It was understood that the execu uve-iaoor program will stress two points: 1. Restoration of credit to rail roads so that they can catch up on long deferred maintenance, thus creating business for the heavy goods indust ries. 2. Reduction of heavy debt struc tures through voluntary reorganiz ation of railroads particularly those systems near bankruptcy; legisla tion to curtail power of minority creditors, who now are able to delay debt reduction programs advocated by majority creditors. Proposals of the railroads for wage reductions were dismissed, it was understood after brotherhoods made it plain they would call a nation wide strike before agreeing to pay cuts. CRITICIZES GOVERNOR KANSAS CITY, Mo.. April 2 (UP) Of all the democrats "Ross" Tom Pendergast has helped into office only one failed to congratulate him on his recent Kansas City election victory. That one was Governor Lloyd Stark. In an unusually talkative mood, Pendergast let it be known to news men that he did not like it a bit. In no uncertain terms he '"told off" the man who he said had car ried his political favor, yet failed to make good on his political debts. Stark's appointments, it has been known, have not always met with the Pendegast sanction. "Let me say," said the boss, "that he will have to live with his con science the same as the rest of we humans. If his conscience is clear, I know mine is, I now say let the river take its course." To which the governor responded: "I am perfectly willing to let all of the people of Missouri be the judges of my honesty and integrity and my actions and my democracy." Pendergast responded with: "I am perfectly willing to let the demo crats who voted for Governor Stark be the judges." TENNIS STAR OPERATED ON HOUSTON. Texas, April 1 (UP) Lyan M. Grant of Atlanta, Georgia, j one of the nation's top tennis play ers and a Davis cup star underwent r.n operation today for appendicitis.
